Necessary but hard to use

I've been using this app with my 9 week old twins since they were born. It's the most comprehensive app I found that tracks the most detailed information and also can be used to track more than one child. It has been very valuable to keep everything straight and has even helped us diagnose some problems with nursing, etc as we look back over the data.

That being said, it is very clunky and difficult to use. Especially for a sleep deprived mom in the middle of the night. The buttons to start and stop nursing timers are way too small. It is extremely common that I accidentally tap just next to the button, which prompts the app to ask me if I want to reset the timer to zero. Navigating around the app, between children or between different tracking features, requires tapping on several different small, precise parts of the screen. I am constantly accidentally tapping the wrong button and having to back out and start again. It's just not very user friendly at all. It appears the developers considered all the features they wanted to fit into the app and crammed it all in without considering usability or a well-designed user interface at all. I will continue to use the app because I need it, but until they improve or redesign it, it will continue to be a huge pain and annoyance.

Best Baby Log By Far

I'm very OCD with an EMS background, so keeping good records on my kids' health and behavior is very important to me. This app has, by far, been the most thorough, intuitive and shareable tracker I've found. It proved invaluable for keeping track of my daughter's fussy eating, irregular bowel, and illnesses for when we visit the doctor. Now, with my son, there is no easier way to keep track of his crazy nursing habits. The only thing frustrating about is is that we need to purchase the app over again for each device. It would be nice if the base app was free and you only paid once to unlock all features for your shareable account. but, even so... I love it enough I was willing to buy it twice. Once for my phone and once for the iPod that pretty much just stays with baby. I highly recommend it.

A must-have for Twins!!

My husband & I have been using this app since about a week after we brought our twin girls home from the hospital. They gave us paper charts to track diaper changes & feelings but with 2 it was just not convenient. Since we got this app we have used it for everything from feedings, diaper changes, dr visits & medications. It stinks you have to pay $5 per download but the fact that we can each input stuff is so awesome. I would highly recommend this for any new parent, especially parents of multiples. It helps when you're at the Doc & they ask you the basic feeding & diaper questions too b/c they have the charts & it's easy to see a summary of feedings & diaper changes.
